60-Second Spotlight: Author Corey Schultz Carter

Welcome to the 60-Second Spotlight on Someone Cool, in which I ask a bunch of goofy questions and then a couple of real ones. This week, it’s…

Corey aka “Mom Mom”

Do you have a nickname?

My toddler calls me “Mom Mom”. I guess this is her way of ensuring that if I don’t hear the first “Mom”, I’ll definitely hear the second. If she adds a third, there’s a possibility that I might have a nervous breakdown.

Doesn’t everyone wake up like this?

If your life were a movie, who would play you?

Cameron Diaz! I’ve been a fan for years. I relate well to her silly, carefree nature (in her films). Exhibit A: Cameron Diaz/ Charlie’s Angels/ Bedroom Scene.

Do you have a favorite dessert or drink?

I love dark chocolate, and I do not discriminate the form in which I receive it. I’m also a big fan of Apothic Red wine and Corona!

What famous person, dead or alive, do you want to punch or hug (or both)?

I would hug Sylvia Plath. I have read so much of her work, and I absolutely adore her. Her poem, Mirror, is one of my favorites. Her novel, The Bell Jar, is also among the long list of my favorite books.

I would be honored to have the chance to punch Adolf Hitler in the face, for being one of the world’s biggest douchebags.

Give us your business name.

Tell us about that awesome thing you do.

I am the author of the romantic thriller novel, Shadows of Deception, and I am currently working on my second book. I write random short stories when the mood strikes me, and I post to my blog as much as my limited time will allow. I also try to promote child literacy and raise awareness for those suffering from anxiety and depression along the way.
